We miss live music! We all miss live music … right?
This will be the 11th year of 2104’s Soup Social, dubbed #SoupB4Supe. Last year we were forced into the Live Stream gig … and now Bryce Kastning and I, also with support from a few others, have been producing Music Live Stream’s since April 2020. If you haven’t listened to our streams … you can pick them up as often as you want, they are at youtube.com/duluthiscool or 2104.us. As of this writing, we have created 22 streams from 2104. (more…)
Merry Christmas from the archives …
On a cold Duluth evening back in 2013, a small crew gathered for a video shoot. Mark Lindquist wanted to give his children a Christmas video. Time got away. The footage wasn’t awesome. I set it aside.
It’s always bugged me that I never made that video for Mark and his children. Last night, I went searching through virtual piles and piles of material until I found what I was looking for. (more…)
Manheat Eats Low Breaker
Rough video from the Duluth Does Low concert — Dec. 12, 2013.
Merry Christmas.
Woodland School Song
While wondering the halls of Woodland Middle School, I came upon the school song.
The school is slated for destruction in the very near future. I can hardly wait for the Chipotle or other chains that they will force upon us.
One, Two, Three Questions?
What would you like to know about your favorite Twin Ports musician or musical group? Would you ask the same question of you favorite painter or potter?
Share your question with me. I’m working on a little project … and maybe just maybe … they’ll answer your question. Can you? Will you?
The People Say Fox — “The Whaler’s Line”
Homegrown Music Video Festival entry by Emily Norton.
The Surfactants — “Aussenseiter”
My son and I put this together at the last minute. As a result, it didn’t get shown at Zinema 2 last night during the Homegrown Music Video Festival and it won’t be shown at during the encore tonight … however, you can see it on Sunday at Chester Creek Cafe and you can watch the hell out of it on the web. Thanks to Annie Dugan for organizing another great event!

More Tweedy for Less Bucks
Problem: Too Many Tweedy’s
I have too many Jeff Tweedy tickets than required. The show is tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29), 7:30pm in Rochester, Minn.
Solution: I am offering the tickets at nearly half off … say, $25 each … for the best music related haiku (as judged by Paul Lundgren).
Haiku entries accepted until noon on Tuesday, March 29.

Permanent McLight Pollution?
Have you recently looked out into the evening sky to be welcomed by what would seem to be a search beacon?
I don’t know that I have ever witnessed it while I have lived in Duluth, however, years ago, it was common practice to hire a “searchlight advertising” team help promote your special event.
This new searchlight seems to be something altogether different.
Of course, some might applaud the re-opening of the London Road McDonald’s, and it might even be searchlight worthy, but it seems that the searchlight that is emitting from McDonald’s is permanently fixed on top of the building. WTF?
(Admin note: According to McDonald’s Duluth-area supervisor, the light is not permanent. It will be in use for about 30 days.)
Are we to expect that this light will constantly beam into the sky, luring unsuspecting folk to this establishment? Forever polluting our night space?
When I look out toward the big dark lake, that’s all I care to see … black … nothing else … thank you very much.
I suggest that we begin here, with a letter-writing campaign urging that they turn that damn light off.

The Grand Entrance and Opening Monologue
Later, when Paul asked for audience participation… did Bob Boone seem over-anxious to slash at the rubber ball??
It seems as if he's done this before??
